Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand was asked during a news conference on Wednesday if "interprovincial trade barriers [could] be dealt with, wiped away in 30 days?"

"The short answer to your question is yes," she responded.

We're down to 25 days. Is the answer still yes?

Trolling aside, that sounds like an excellent goal. I've seen news articles about Canada's internal trade barriers since the 1980s, but this is the first time I've seen anything approaching movement on the issue.

It can happen if the provinces decide to cooperate.

What are the odds that Alberta backs down on demands that other provinces allow more pipelines to be built faster (and without as much environmental red tape)?

What are the odds that Quebec backs down on its demand that all products sold in their province be labelled primarily in French, or that any workers coming to Quebec from another province must be fluent in French?

Etc, etc..
